Getting started:

The first thing you need to do is carefully apply the base coat. Allow ample time to dry and then apply the grey colored nail paint

Once you have done this, you need to work when the orange nail paint is not yet dry. You need to apply on some white nail polish on the nail. While the yellow is still a little wet, you need to get on the black nail paint all across the nail. Take care not to apply too much, as you want to see bits of each color on the nail through the nail. It is also likely that you may get some nail paint outside the nail, do not worry about this, you can always clean it out with a nail paint remover once your art is done

As the nail paints start to dry, pick the tool that you have for making smaller dots and apply a few deep dots in a pattern resembling a circle to form the petals of a flower. You could end up with more than one floral design on a nail. You need to complete the flower circle by simply putting a black dot in the middle with the tool used for dotting if necessary. Let all the layers and your floral patterns dry well

Then the next thing to do is add a thin layer of protection with the top coat and allow it to dry. The process of creating water painting like nail art is over. Keep experimenting with different colors and patterns and you will find that your nails will collect a lot of attention.
